Support the Medical Disaster Fund

As Hurricane Irma devastated parts of Florida, many physician practices suffered damage that forced them to relocate or stop delivering patient care for extended times. The Foundation for Healthy Floridians Medical Disaster Fund, established following Hurricane Katrina, was created to help doctors reopen their doors in the wake of natural disasters.

Click here to support the Medical Disaster Fund so that medical practices affected by Hurricane Irma can recover and continue delivering patient care. The Foundation, the FMA's philanthropic vehicle, is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. All or part of your donation may be tax deductible as a charitable contribution.
